A compound with molecular mass 180 is acylated with to get a compound with molecular mass 390. The number of amino groups present per molecule of the former compound is:
- A2
- B5
- C4
- D6
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Understand the reaction
Acylation of an amino group with acetyl chloride occurs as:
Each amino group gets converted into an acetamide group.
- Find mass increase per amino group
In this reaction, one hydrogen from is replaced by the acetyl group .
So, net mass added per amino group is:
Equivalently, each acylation increases molecular mass by .
- Use the given molecular masses
Initial molecular mass:
Final molecular mass after acylation:
So total increase in mass is:
- Calculate number of amino groups
If each amino group increases mass by , then number of amino groups is:
- Match with options
Thus, the compound contains:
So the correct option is B.
